I guess these, as they're the only 2007 albums I've bought...

The Chemical Brothers - We Are the Night
Battles - Mirrored
Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos
Ozzy Osbourne - Black Rain
Explosions In The Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone
Megadeth - United Abominations
Dark Tranquillity - Fiction
Grinderman - Grinderman
The Alan Parsons Project - The Essential Alan Parsons Project

And Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero, but that's pretty average.

I agree with many of the listed ones; Radiohead, Liars, Ryan Adams, Grizzly Bear, Health.

 

Due to high expectations I was disappointed with, but didn't dislike, Jose Gonzalez, Interpol, Okkervil River

 

"Sky Blue Sky" is probably my record of the year. It just hit right at the right time.

 

I am now enamored with one of my top picks for next year: Black Mountain "In the Future." It comes out in January but if I could vote it for this year I would. A little Sabbath and a little Floyd and a little indie sensibility.

 

It is a really really incredible record. If you get a chance to see them live, do! Check out this awesome live show while you're waiting. http://radio3.cbc.ca/concerts/Black-Mountain-2007-10-06/

I'm glad to see someone else digging the winehouse. A completer rip off but all soul/ r n b is using someone elses ideas and its done so well. Such a great album.

Hm, I would say:

 

Neurosis - Given to the Rising (sludge, sludge...and then more sludge, thanks to Steve Albini)

Paradise Lost - In Requiem (surprise, I had zero expectations for this one after a decade of lackluster albums from these guys, simply great catchy songs, that's all)

Virgin Black - Requiem Mezzoforte (doom metal + classical opera = killer progressive stuff)

Rotting Christ - Theogonia (these crazy Greeks slay me every time)

Nile - Ithyphallic (no surprises, but great as always)

Candlemass - King of the Grey Islands (DOOOOOOM!)

Dimmu Borgir - In Sorte Diaboli (these Norwegians are back with the usual antics)

 

On a surprising note, I rediscovered a lot of albums I haven't listened to since I was in college:

 

The Breeders - Pod

The Pixies - Surfer Rosa + Doolittle

 

I haven't listened to them in so long, they feel like brand new albums *grin*
